Review of China’s policy and management system for the paid use of sea area

As a carrier to develop various marine resources, sea area is regulated as a kind of important resources through legislation by many coastal countries with a management system for the paid use of sea area. Since the early 1990s, China has begun to implement the paid use and formed an institutional system comprised of three levels after developing it for more than two decades. From 2002 to 2015, the Chinese Government transferred the use right of sea area of 33,910 km² by paid use and levied a total of 75.89 billion CNY (11.328 billion US dollars) of sea area use payment. Apart from this, the Government has gained rich experience in operating and managing the compensable use of sea area. After retrospectively analyzing the development history of paid use of China’s sea area, the research presents an institutional structure and the implementation of the management system for the paid use of sea area and the main problems therein. On this basis, management policies and feasible policy suggestions are proposed. Research results from this study can provide available references for other developing countries and emerging economies to apply and improve native management system for the paid use of sea area.     

Assessment of Flood Losses with Household Responses: Agent-Based Simulation in an Urban Catchment Area

Densely populated coastal urban areas are often exposed to multiple hazards, in particular floods and storms. Flood defenses and other engineering measures contribute to the mitigation of flood hazards, but a holistic approach to flood risk management should consider other interventions from the human side, including warning information, adaptive behavior, people/property evacuation, and the multilateral relief in local communities. There are few simulation approaches to consider these factors, and these typically focus on collective human actions. This paper presents an agent-based model that simulates flood response preferences and actions taken within individual households to reduce flood losses. The model implements a human response framework in which agents assess different flood scenarios according to warning information and decide whether and how much they invest in response measures to reduce potential inundation damages. A case study has been carried out in the Ng Tung River basin, an urbanized watershed in northern Hong Kong. Adopting a digital elevation model (DEM) as the modeling environment and a building map of household locations in the case area, the model considers the characteristics of households and the flood response behavior of their occupants. We found that property value, warning information, and storm conditions all influence household losses, with downstream and high density areas being particularly vulnerable. Results further indicate (i) that a flood warning system, which provides timely, accurate, and broad coverage rainstorm warning, can reduce flood losses by 30–40%; and (ii) to reduce losses, it is more effective and cheaper to invest early in response measures than late actions. This dynamic agent-based modeling approach is an innovative attempt to quantify and model the role of human responses in flood loss assessments. The model is demonstrated being useful for analyzing household scale flood losses and responses and it has the potential to contribute to flood emergency planning resource allocation in pluvial flood incidents.     

近25年三峡库区土地覆被变化及驱动力分析

基于1990、2000、2005、2010和2015年五期30 m空间分辨率土地覆被遥感数据,利用动态度模型和转移矩阵,综合分析了近25 a三峡库区土地覆被的时空格局、变化特征及驱动力。研究结果表明：2015年三峡库区土地覆被以森林和耕地为主,分别占总面积的41.45%和24.58%;1990~2015年三峡库区人工表面、湿地、森林和其他用地的面积增长明显,耕地、灌丛和草地的面积整体减少,区域综合土地覆被动态度呈先增加后稳定的变化趋势,人工表面是最为活跃的土地覆被类型,其次是湿地和耕地;前10 a三峡库区人工表面占用耕地较为突出,后15 a土地覆被类型转换主要为森林、灌丛和耕地转为人工表面和湿地;三峡工程建设、移民安置与迁建、经济发展与城镇化导致人工表面不断扩张,水库蓄水导致湿地面积迅速增加,农业结构调整促使园地面积扩张。三峡库区近25 a来,在退耕还林等生态保护政策影响下,生态环境状况趋于改善,库区森林面积显著增加,坡耕地面积持续减少,但人地矛盾日益突出,研究结果可为后三峡时代库区生态环境保护与社会经济的协调发展提供数据支撑。

成都市降水对大气颗粒物湿清除作用的观测研究

为研究成都市降水对大气颗粒物(以下简称颗粒物)的湿清除作用,对2014—2016年成都市的颗粒物(PM_(2.5)、PM_(10))和气象观测数据进行分析。结果表明:月、季尺度下,降水对PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)均有削减作用。降水时段的PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)浓度较非降水时段分别降低17.1%和15.8%,且冬季降幅最为明显。考察472次降水过程对颗粒物的湿清除作用,发现单次降水过程后PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)浓度增长频次(243、234次)和削减频次(229、238次)接近,但颗粒物浓度总体呈削减趋势。对于单次降水过程,颗粒物的初始浓度与降水对颗粒物的湿清除作用关系密切,特别是降水持续时间超过8h后,颗粒物初始浓度越高,削减效果越好。     

The coupling of sand with ZVI/oxidants achieved proportional and highly efficient removal of arsenic

• Simply doping sands with ZVI achieved an even activation of ZVI by oxidants. • Sand doping facilitated proportional As trapping along the ZVI/oxidants column. • ZVI/sand/oxidants are highly efficient for arsenic removal. • ZVI/sand/oxidants reduced significantly the Fe²⁺ leaching and effluent turbidity. • More than 54% of arsenic was reduced to As(III) in ZVI/sand/oxidants system. The coupling of zero-valent iron (ZVI) with common oxidants has recently achieved very rapid and highly efficient removal of Heavy metals from wastewater. However, the uniform activation of ZVI throughout the column and the proportional removal of target contaminants are urgently required for the prevention of premature filter clogging and the extension of the effective column operational time. In this study, we successfully achieved this objective by simply doping granular sand with ZVI at appropriate weight ratios. When pure ZVI packed column was spiked with oxidants, the majority of As trapping occurred between the column inlet and the first sampling point. In a packed column with a 1:20 mixture of ZVI and sand, the average As removal efficiency was 36 (1st), 13.1 (2nd), 18.5 (3rd), 19.2 (4th) and 5.9% (5th outlet). The overall arsenic removal performance of the composite filling system of ZVI/sand was equally as efficient as that of the previous pure ZVI-packed system. Moreover, the leaching of Fe was significantly reduced with an increased sand ratio, resulting in clearer water with less turbidity. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrated that more than 54% of the arsenic was reduced to As(III). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the extensive corrosion of the ZVI surface, which resulted in various species of iron oxyhydroxides responsible for the highly efficient sequester of arsenic through reduction, adsorption, and coprecipitation.
